Previous studies have shown that even simple beam shapes with rectangular, ring-shaped or a combination of two Gaussian distributions produce promising results for both component quality and process ...

"This is just one example of many possible beam shapes we can create. Our approach offers versatility for a wide range of applications requiring specialized beam profiles, from Gaussian to flat-top ...

Shaping up: A new machine learning algorithm helps physicists reconstruct the shapes of particle accelerator beams from tiny amounts of training data. (Courtesy: Greg Steward/SLAC National Accelerator ...

but we don't have a really precise way to describe a beam's shape and momentum," SLAC accelerator scientist and lead co-author Ryan Roussel said. "Our algorithm takes into account information ...

In e-beam lithography, or EBL, shapes are drawn onto a wafer using an electron beam in a vacuum chamber. This is a slow process compared to optical lithography, as used in mass production ...
